This is the deal of all deals - will I ever find a better deal? Will I ever be this excited again? How do I live up to the expectations that this deal places on me? I am definitely kidding with all of that, but whew this deal really will be hard to beat.

Today, I happened upon a pair of women’s Nike Pegasus tennis shoes in Academy (in my size might I add) that were originally $150, marked down to $9.97. You read that right - it is not a typo. Nine dollars and ninety seven cents. That means a 95% markdown was just chilling on the clearance rack.

I screamed. Gasped. Fainted. Paramedics came. I had to be revived and it was all because of how unbelievable this deal was. (Kidding).

ANYWAYS, I grabbed the shoes and ran to the register.

Now, the deals don’t stop at $9.97, believe it or not. I actually did get even more of a discount on these shoes than the original 95% markdown. This was because a few weeks ago, I signed up for the Academy text club (see post here) where I was sent a $10 off $50 coupon. I had a few other clearance items in my cart which made the total right at $50, so lo and behold, I was able to use this 20% off coupon in addition to my clearance finds.

When I got to the register, the coupon rang up and deducted another $2 off my shoes. Which means, my grand total for these Nike Pegasus shoes were $8. Originally $150.

Like I said, this is the deal of all deals. I worry I may never beat it again. But that means I just need to keep scouring every store for these kinds of deals, right? I mean, they are out there. We just have to find them!
